Nature connection and mindfulness for wellbeing 10:30am – 12pm:
Nicky from Sound and Ground is a Thetford based nature connection guide and sound therapy practitioner. In these 90 minute sessions she’ll be introducing you to some beautiful green spaces within walking distance of Thetford town centre that are available for you to access and enjoy anytime. We will help you tune into your senses and learn how you can use your breath as a tool for calm and peace when you most need it. You can expect opportunities to rest in nature, live sounds from the sound therapy instruments, gentle walking and demonstrations of sensory practices you can use anytime you are outside to bring you peace, calm and joy.
Thetford Community Bird Song Sound Baths at the BTO 6:30pm – 8pm
These unique sessions are designed to combine for you the therapeutic benefits of birdsong and sound therapy instruments. Offered in the beautiful ancient building of the chapel that forms part of the BTO offices and headquarters in the Nunnery, Thetford.
A sound bath is a full body listening experience where you can simply rest and see where the live instrumental soundscape takes you. For these sessions you can choose to sit in a chair or lay down and simply rest and listen. Nicky will offer a short, guided visualisation to begin and then share with you a gentle sound bath using instruments such as voice, gongs, singing bowls, drum, monochord and chimes. High quality recordings of British birdsong will be playing gently throughout.
BTO are hosting these free sessions at the Nunnery designed to introduce Thetford residents to ways of connecting with nature that can help improve your wellbeing. These sessions are specifically intended for those who are new to nature connection and sound therapy, or for whom there are currently barriers preventing them from accessing this practices.
